Probably the Savar tragedy is the most severe holocaust our country has ever witnessed since independence. This tragedy has claimed nearly 600 lives and left 2400 others injured, with several hundreds still missing. In such a dreadful situation our people showed unbelievable love and courage in rescuing the helpless victims from under the debris of the collapsed building. This spirit of our people can save the nation from any sort of calamity -- natural or man-made. This was a lesson for us to learn how to act during the time of any national crisis.
We should be thankful to the selfless volunteers, Bangladesh army, BGB, fire brigade, Enam Medical College and Hospital, along with other hospitals, journalists and many others who came forward to participate in the rescue operation and treatment of the victims.
